First of all - great app and good work on dishing out updates and fixes. Really impressive!

However, I experience the same problem as the guy above: ever since the 5.x versions notifications for GO SMS has stopped working.

I've tried tinkering with the settings but no luck so far (I haven't yet tried going back to an earlier NoLED-release though). I'm not using the GO SMS-popups, which I've heard has caused some trouble in the past, just the regular notifications. Also, "Delay SMS-notification" is checked.

Is the "Delay SMS-notification"-feature meant as a fix for the popups-issue or just third party-apps in general?

Sorry for a bit incoherent post. You deserve better :)

EDIT: Maybe should've mentioned that I use a Samsung Galaxy S2 with stock rom (i.e. I haven't altered it in any way outside of some apps)

Proximity sensor feature not working properly

Hello, first I would like to thank the developer for the great app. Although there are two things I miss (one bug and one possible feature? ;) ).

BUG:

Device model: GT-I9000

Firmware version: 2.3.6

Build number: XWJW1 (DarkyRom 10.4.2)

Carrier: T-Mobile CZ

NoLED: 5.0.5

Description

"Proximity sensor" feature doesn't turn display / notifications back ON after the sensor comes out of the close proximity (basicaly it does the same thing as "Dismiss with proximity sensor" in the moment).

EDIT: Actualy after I cover the proximity sensor of the phone (with Noled screen on), the lock screen comes up and then the display turns off after a while - so it looks like the Noled service is terminated when I cover the proximity sensor? Though with next notification it normaly kicks in again.

POSSIBLE FEATURE:

I am sure I'm not the only one who would greatly appreciate the "Proximity sensor" feature to turn just the display off, not the whole notification (so the phone would still make sound / vibrate even when in the pocket). If there is an option to "Keep screen off", could this be somehow "merged" with proximity sensor? :)

Thank you for help in advance

Hi madmack

I tried setting Delay All to 10s but still no go. Any other suggestions?

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
v5.0.5 of NoLED enables "Delay SMS" by default. While it should work even if no popups are there in GoSMS, you can try to disable it yourself and see how that goes.

The Delay SMS feature, will, if it found out that NoLED went to the background after a popup, restart the NoLED notifications screen. Maybe that restart feature isn't working properly on your device.

I have tested GoSMS Pro extensively with that last version with different settings and use-cases and it seems to work at all times. What is the current behavior when you receive a text? does the screen turn on? does it display something for an instance and then go off? I'm not able to replicate it so any details will help.

The proximity feature doesn't work for you because you have a badly implemented lock screen (3rd party). In my testing, this only happens when another app is programmed to "take over" whatever is on the screen when the screen turns off. This is what happens when you use the proximity sensor so it's not NoLED's fault, its the other apps' bad programming. I'm guessing even the Blink feature wouldn't work for you. An example of such an app that I have personally experienced this with is Go Locker.

This could also be caused by some kind of task manager/killer that terminates apps when the screen goes off. so i'd check on that as well.

As for your feature request. This is how it actually works here. If I set the Vibrate or Audio reminders to some interval, they will be triggered regardless of whether the phone is in my pocket with the screen off (due to proximity) or if the phone is sitting somewhere on my desk with the screen on.

Not sure why it ain't working then :( I'm out of ideas really.
[Android Apps and Games] ramblin66:
As of the last release [5.0.5], when I receive email NoLED will activate correctly, then "dismiss" itself after 10 seconds. Same for SMS.

This happens with the phone sitting untouched on my desk.

I've checked the settings, but don't find any auto-dismiss timer or similar setting.

Just reading the last few pages of this thread, I thought I mention that "Delay SMS" is off, although I think this is not relevant to my issue.

I'm running Android 2.2.1 on Samsung Galaxy S.

What setting needs to be manually changed that I'm missing?

I assume this is the issue...

Thanks.

_____________________

Edit:

I found the problem... as I figured, it was a simple setting.

When NoLED installs upgrades, I've found that settings get changed....

On earlier versions, a NoLED upgrade would result in NoLED being turned off. I had to go in and turn it back on. This happened through several (3?) upgrades...

On this upgrade, the "Notification Timeout" setting was wiped out. I guess it defaults to 10 seconds when there is no radio button set?? I set it back to 30 minutes and all is ok.. I just zorked out on where the setting was...

Sorry to bother you with something so simple..

Thanks.!

NoLED

I uninstalled because I was getting some strange behavior. I installed latest version in the OP after a fresh install of my ROM. Then I did a Titanium backup of data for NoLed. I use the clock feature 'always on'. Screen would time out, time screen with weather widget would enable, then after maybe three seconds, phone opens to lockscreen. I'm thinking it's the Titanium Backup, but I've been too busy to test. I'm going to reinstall and set up everything manually again.:)

EDIT: Just saw the above post.
[Android Apps and Games] Adyztofles:
Thanks for response, as for "bug", you were right, re-stocking the lockscreen has fixed this.

As for "possible feature" - sorry for misunderstanding. Maybe you could state it in the app description on your site? Under proximity options, there is just "disable notifications", not mentioning that the sound and vibrate notifications stay ON (sorry if this is obvious to everyone :D ).
[Android Apps and Games] nollan:
Thanks for your reply!

As for my phone behavior: the screen does turn on and shows my (stock) lock screen for 10 seconds (as per the settings from GoSMS) and a notification in the bar at the top - so nothing fancy there. If I recall correctly NoLED overrode the action of lighting up the screen when it did work for me. I tried to disable the setting that lights up the screen in GoSMS but that didn't seem to be the problem either, but I'm just firing blindly. Bottom line is, no vital signs of NoLED at all while receiving a text.

Also, I just tried disabling the "Delay SMS"-feature but no improvement there I'm afraid. I hope you can get something out of this rambling.

Many thanks for your time and effort. It's inspiring.
[Android Apps and Games] pompatello:
After the update everytime I get a notification and I unlock the phone it goes straight to NoLed settings. Shall I uncheck something? I don't know where to look..
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm getting a barrage of negative comments in the Market with no clue to the reason and I certainly am not able to replicate their problems. Any one else having severe issues with v5.0.5 like missed triggers, a freeze of some sorts or anything like that?

This is seriously puzzling. You think you could uninstall GoSMS just to rule that out? I know that GoSMS is very aggressive in whatever it does when an SMS arrives. In my test cases, the delay SMS really did take care of that but it seems I've left some loose end somewhere.

Under Miscellaneous > Dismiss buttons > do you have the Home button enabled or disabled?

Are you dismissing any NoLED notifications with the Home button?
[Android Apps and Games] pompatello:
I have both Home and Back buttons enabled; usually I dismiss NoLED notification with the back button. After dismissal it goes to "monitored apps", then if I press the back button again it goes to the event.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Uninstall and reinstall NoLED. See if that changes anything?

what home screen are you using btw?
[Android Apps and Games] pompatello:
Yeah I tried already unistalling/re-installing, didn't change much. It had happened once before with the 4.7 version if my memory is good, didn't figure it out then, but it was fine with the 4.8 so I just went back to the last backup which worked fine.

What do you mean by what home screen I am using? I'm on last MIUI Mintberry version
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
miui...

that's very likely the cause. i'm not sure what they did but that problem doesn't happen on any other rom that i've tried. that includes the aosp emulator.

i don't think i can have a fix for that. your best bet is to revert to a previous version as i can't find out what changes i did broke the old working functionality for you.
[Android Apps and Games] pompatello:
That's what I did, might not be the latest version of NoLED but this app is amazing and you're doing a great job. Thanks for the help, cheers ;)
[Android Apps and Games] quantech:
Up until V 5.0.4 NoLed was working great for me. After updating to latest version 5.0.5 here is what happens for me on my SGH-T989:

I'll lock the phone down, screen goes off, all is well.

I am monitoring a small handful of apps, mainly e-mail and a couple sports scores apps (Score Mobile & Sportacular). When I get an e-mail or a score update/notification NoLed will turn the display on as it should with the notification icon, time, date, charging/battery status, etc. but then the NoLed display freezes. The time and icons stop "bouncing" or dancing around on the screen and remain static. The battery remaining % never changes and the only way to correct this is either to reboot the phone or to do a force close of NoLed and re-start it. But then again when a monitored app gets a notification it will just freeze all over again.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing and that did not help.

Thankfully there are links to go back to previous versions so for now I went back to 5.0.4 and it works great. I just tested it by sending myself an e-mail and sure enough the time/date/battery notifications all come up along with the e-mail icon and it's bouncing around happily on the screen and I can see the battery remaining % going down (or going up if it's charging).

I suppose unless 5.0.6 fixes this problem or offers up some really outstanding new feature that I can't live without I'll just stick with 5.0.4 and would recommend that most users stay with this version since I have yet to find any faults with this version.

Thanks to Madmack for being so attentive to us users and making such a cool little app that I simply cannot do without!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
most informative feedback yet :) a thanks+ goes to you.

I think I found it. I'm going to release an update that fixes that issue.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

I thought my problems were related to restoring data with Titanium. Although not exactly the same as the others I have read, I had problems too. I'll try the update.:)
[Android Apps and Games] mastermikeywwt:
Hey great app. Been trying this with Onecosmic's ICS RC3.1. Only issue I'm having is the back lights on the buttons still seem to come on even though its disabled. Other than that no issues. Great idea btw.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
that's a kernel issue actually that I can't do much about.

I was able to work around the previous roms on the sgs by hacking something in but this won't work anymore with these newer ics roms.

there is an entry in the FAQ with more details. its written for the nexus s but your problem stems from the same bug.

[Android Apps and Games] nollan:
I tried uninstalling GoSMS but it didn't fix the problem I'm afraid. However, now I'm back on version 4.8 and what do you know - it works again! Too bad we couldn't find a solution but this will have to work for now I guess. Don't you dare add any new features I might be needing in the future!

Many thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm not sure what the problem is? you receive an icon when you get an SMS as opposed to?

Did you actually give 5.0.6 a shot before reverting back to 4.8? I kinda changed some stuff related to SMS on that one as well.
[Android Apps and Games] nollan:
As a matter of fact I did but with no luck. I'll keep an eye out for future updates and maybe give a new one a try down the line hoping that the issue is gone.

My hat is off to you for a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
So far I'm not having any problems with 5.0.6 on CM7.2 on my Motorola Photon.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
thanks for that :)

I'm getting overwhelmingly positive responses from the Market as well with this latest version.

The thing works as I expect it to on two devices that I own, my fiance's, two friends, and my emulator. lol. I have no idea how some folks manage to get it stuck. Gotta enjoy their usual great informative comment on the Market: "does not work". :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Lemo777:
I am using a Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Note right now. Even i love the Nexus, the Notes display size ist just perfect for quick surfing and chatting/writing, email so i wanna swap completely to the Note.

The only issue i have is... the "real" notification light the Nexus has.

Well, i installed NoLed and it works the way it should, great work ! :-)

Now my problem, or perhaps request (perhaps it it is possible and i havnt seen it yet?): I would like to have the same "feeling" as with the Nexus - a fixed position, no jumping to different positions on display and just a simple circle that i could customize the color i want. Before you ask, i don't care a possible burning effect that would result in having the circle being displayed at the same position.

Is this possible somehow or can be made ? :-)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
with the current implementation of noled, your best option is to go to the "time and sleep" submenu and increase the dots moving interval to something like 5000 seconds. That way they will look static. As for a colored big dot or circle, I have no intention of implementing that the moment. I kinda really like what NoLED is able to do as is :)
[Android Apps and Games] VK3BQO:
Hi all, this is my first posting but I have been following this forum for several weeks since installing NoLed. I am running Noled on a Samsung S2 with 2.3.3 standard rom. The app is brilliant so thanks heaps as it was just what I needed. I had a few problems back at 4.08 with email notifications but worked out the best settings to get both standard email and gmail notifications working. Then when version 5 came along I could not get any emails to show unless something else had started a notification already such as SMS or Missed Call. When 5.05 was posted, I uninstalled and reinstalled with the same result so I turned the phone off until it buzzed and back on again. All worked fine after that for SMS, Missed Calls, Gmail and regular checked emails. I also have a Skype notification which works fine but I excluded the text "signed in" in the monitored apps section because Skype goes up and down like a yoyo. I have now upgraded to 5.06 and at this stage I have noted no problems at all. I did have one lock up of the screen back in 5.05 but it only happened once and I could not recreate it. Once again thanks for the app. It is well worth the donation but if I can put in a request perhaps for different audible notifications for each monitored app, that would be my only ask but not essential. I know that it is quite involved but I did have it on an earlier windows phone so I thought I would throw it in as a suggestion.

Albert

Wonderful.. thank you!!

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Hey Albert, welcome to XDA :)

I'm glad you figured it all out with the latest version.

About your request, what would happen when you have multiple monitored apps displayed on the screen? Specifying a different tone for each monitored apps that will be repeated after a certain interval will cause an overlap.
[Android Apps and Games] VK3BQO:
Hi Madmack, what you say about multiple notifications would happen. The way in which it would assist me is that being a tradie, I dont want to down tools for every notification as I usually have muddy or greasy hands. If I knew it was a missed call or an SMS(and that happens when I am in a noisy environment), I would consider it important enough to down tools. However emails and Skype are not important enough for that. In saying that, I realise that you would not write this feature into Noled unless many users found it useful. Just as an explanation also, my phone lives on a belt clip as it would fall out of a top pocket. That is why I miss calls and SMSs. Every person uses their phone a little differently. Please do not take my suggestion as a criticism at all. Your app. has saved my bacon a few times as I did not regularly check for missed items. Thanks again. - Albert
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I wouldn't mind some constructive criticism :o

I appreciate your feedback. Don't get me wrong, I just wasn't sure how to go about your suggestion or how it would look like once implemented. Reading about use-cases help a lot with implementation.

I'll think about adding a feature like that, but it'll be low on the priority list for the moment. :)
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Thunderbolt!

I installed the latest update after rolling back to 5.03, I think, and I'm getting the same behavior as 5.04. Screen times out, NoLed activates and is on for about two seconds, display opens to lock screen until it times out again, cycle repeats. I thought it might have something to do with the ICS face unlock screen, but that is not the case as I disabled it. Made a logcat and will send as soon as I figure out how to place it in one of those scrollable windows that doesn't take up space in the thread, lol. Rolling back again for the time being.:)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
before you send one in. try the attached one, it's a debug version that should give me the information i need. just replicate the issue, get a logcat and put it in pastebin or use the CODE /CODE here as a post.

Same problem here on my wife's Fascinate -- For now, I've rolled-back to 4.x from an old backup and will wait for a fix. Thanks for the great app!

NoLED

I realized that the app icon was not on any of the home screens even though the app was on and working. I'm going to try 5.06 again with the icon in place, first. Will report back.:)

EDIT: Nope, it wasn't the lack of an icon on the homescreen. Will download the debug version.
[Android Apps and Games] ivoricardo:
Just awsome! Very clever idea! Congrats!

A sugestion, I am using ICS on SGS1 and the "Go Back" button (which has a led) and the other button who is used to see more options (dont know the name lol) has a led too. It would be nice that if you could play with those leds! On my config (standard) when i receive a sms they both lit up. Would be nice to left button only lit up for sms and right for calls. Is that possible!?

Thanks for your work!

Problems with last version (5.0.6) and Samsung GS2 2.3.4 Italian Rom

- Can't see the GO SMS icon after receiving a sms (in previous versions worked well, delay notification is still on as previously), others programs worked fine.

- Proximity sensor doesn't turn off the screen. It works (I can see the sensor turn on), but when I put near an object, the sensor turn off and the screen remains on.

Also modifying the options,I can't get it working. This is very bad because it drains a lot of battery if I don't hear the sound of something and no led remain on for a long time with my phone in the poket.

Tried also a reinstall, no luck

Let me known...;)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Hi, google around for BLN. These lights aren't easy to modify without root or kernel modifications; something that is beyond the scope of NoLED :)

Hi,

- Make sure the NoLED delay time will trigger NoLED after the goSMS is received. You might want to experiment with adding 1 or 2 seconds to whatever you had previously.

- Proximity sensor works fine here. I have the same phone as you do. Go to Miscellaneous > Dismiss buttons and check on "Home". See if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] SuperMario=ITA=:
GoSMS icon can be displayed in version 5 and above ONLY if in go SMS settings is unselected "Turn on screen" under notification options.

But in version 4.x the icon shows up also if this option was selected :confused:

In 5.0.5 Proximity sensor works fine. Rolled back waiting for fix. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I've tried it WITH "turn on screen" and it seems to be working fine here. I've actually really tested GoSMS rigorously before releasing v5.0.6.

I'll need to be able to replicate your issue. there is something non-default that you're doing that is messing it up. "Turn screen on" is the default GoSMS setup so all these are tested already.
[Android Apps and Games] SuperMario=ITA=:
ops, you answered while I was composing...:D

anyway:

- Doesn't work, also if I delay every NoLed notification of 30 sec (for example). If go sms turn on screen, no led (in my opinion) thinks that someone has unlocked the screen...

- Negative, not working if "home" is checked. But using 5.0.5 worked fine.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

dunno, I use default settings of Go SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you using stock lockscreen?

are you triggering goSMS in NoLED via the default SMS toggle or via Monitored Apps?
[Android Apps and Games] SuperMario=ITA=:
-WidgetLocker lockscreen. Read somewhere is the only locker that supports NoLed (never had problems with NoLed).

-Tried in Monitored Apps On with Sms icon off & SMS/MMS off, and also tried with Monitored App Off with SMS icon & SMS/MMS on. No luck if "turn on screen" is on.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I think I got the problem. It's that unique configuration that you have that is causing problems.. GoSMS + WidgetLocker. NoLED indeed thinks that the screen is unlocked and switched on, therefore does not display the notification.

In WidgetLocker, do you have the default lock screen disabled completely? (there is an option there to completely remove it). I know that the default puts WL on top of the android lockscreen, and unlocking that as you unlock WL. A simple way to check: get a notification in NoLED, then press the Home key. Do you get the default lock screen or do you jump back to your launcher?

I think you'll need to either a) uncheck the "turn screen on" in GoSMS. or b) make sure WL is overlaying on top of the default lock screen.

Also, which 5.0.6 did you download? I made a little error on the initial release but quickly corrected it and reuploaded it in 30min. I'd suggest redownloading 5.0.6 from the OP (or market) and give that one last chance. Otherwise, you'll need to do one of the two options I suggested above.

The older 4.8 had explicit checks for WL. I removed these for the sake of universal compatibility with or without lock screens.
